Good evening Stuart,
I think the important thing to remember when it comes to unmarked police vehicles is that it is actually a criminal offence to impersonate a police officer, and as such, if somebody is pulled over by somebody pretending to be a police officer, they should ring the police and report it. When it comes down to the crunch, a real police officer isn't going to mind if you call a police station to check that they do work there.
Regards,

July certainly went rather quickly, and as today is the first day of August, it’s time to take another look in the Vault.
This time we’re going back to the 19th of March 2006.
Samuel’s Musician Of The Week

This week the award goes to Tom Jones, and the feature song is one I remember hearing in the lounge room when I was about three or four years old. I must have heard it regularly as I had a game of running around the circular mat on the floor whenever it was on.
The old home town looks the same as I step down from the train,
and there to meet me is my Mama and Papa.
Down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they’ll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home.
The old house is still standing tho’ the paint is cracked and dry,
and there’s that old oak tree I used to play on.
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Then I awake and look around me, at four grey wall that surround me
and I realiae, yes I was only dreaming.
For there’s a guard and there’s a sad old padre –
arm in arm we’ll walk at daybreak.
Again I’ll touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they’ll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
as they lay me neath the green, green grass of home.
